Pedestrian dies after struck by car in Midtown

San Diego  A 62-year-old woman hit by a car crossing the street Saturday in downtown San Diego died Sunday, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.

The woman, whose name has not been released pending notification of the family, was headed to Clover Leaf Market on Reynard Way near Eagle Street to buy a lottery ticket, police Officer Michael Sweet said.

As she walked across the street eastbound at the intersection, she was struck by a Honda Civic driven by a 75-year-old woman, Sweet said. The pedestrian hit the car’s windshield, then the ground, and suffered major head injuries.

Police and paramedics were called to scene in San Diego’s Midtown neighborhood about 9:25 p.m. The woman was taken to a hospital and the road was closed for an investigation.
